Mac support is known to be one of the worst. Linux and Windows are also sane OSs. And there are a lot of high-end machines on the market. So I disagree with you.

All Apple owners I ever met were showing off. For them it's status to have a Mac. They think that when they have a Mac they belong to the group. Or they think they need to have a Mac because they are designers/hackers.

This feeling of belonging to a group knocks out the rest of the market.

I'm not saying Apples are crap. But to me they are not better than lets say a nice Lenovo Thinkpad installed with Ubuntu. In the end of the day it's just a tool to get the job done.

(Why do all iPhone owners put there phone on the table while having a meeting? Just turn the thing off and put it in your wallet!)



Apple support frequently leads the industry by a wide margin in consumer surveys. Apple Care is expensive, but it's fantastic when you need it - I've never had a less than 5 star experience.

"Readers awarded AppleCare a score of 86 points, dwarfing the competition; Lenovo/IBM came in second place with just 61 points."
